Hey, you got 100 hours out of the game and enjoyed it for the most part. How many RPG's released at present can you say that about?

Couldn't whiners keep their problems to themselves? The man played the game non-stop for a week, obviously enjoying it. Now he's exhausted. Yay... take a break and come back later. It's a game not life v 2.0 with a pinch of fantasy.

Maybe to you. Feels awesome to me. Especially wandering around in the northernmost parts of Skyrim.

And just for the record, I've been a TES fan for about 9 years, I pick Morrowind over Oblivion, but Skyrim IS the best of the series.

Deal with it.

Stop playing Skyrim, get off the Skyrim forums & banish Skyrim from your life... If you don't like it that much. Nobody cares that you don't like Skyrim.

While I'm much newer to TES, I've played Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim. I agree with you here.

What's also silly: you've played this game for many, many hours, considering how many characters you made and what levels you achieved. So am I right that you wasted hours of your life, playing a game you think is bad? Why did you keep on playing? And why complain about a piece of entertainment that apparently kept you occupied for so many hours in the first week after release? It's mind boggling. It's like reading a series of books by the same author one after the other and at the end tell your friends you didn't like any of them. Why did you keep on reading?

Yes yes and if you turn into a werewolf in the companion house you get attacked, and if you accidentally hit a guard with an arrow during a dragon fight you receive a bounty with seemingly no proper way of pleading your case. Immersion broken!

That's not bad scripting, its' just how the game is made because actually remedying or imposing special rules for the thousands of variables that could possibly occur is meaningless in the grand scheme of things. Most everyone who plays understands the game doesn't need an expansive complex dialogue tree to explain to guards why they were hit by an arrow or why causing the otherwise timid npcs to become furious fighters just because you picked up something accidentally. Arguing for the inclusion of variables like Stealing is bad except when: would add hundreds of mundane variations and still not catch them all in every situation. Its' par for the course.

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwnnnnn. These thread topics are flame bait and boring. Look at me I am productive!

Word.

Just like TES 4: the green forest, TES 3: red ashland, TES 2: the land of small hills, TES1 : flatland with boxhouses?
Skyrim has the most diversity in environment.

I like turtles........

I think this is the best game ever no matter how many bugs there is and how many people disagree or dislike the game anyway they will fix this bugs eventually and we will play for years like we did with Oblivion, stop your baby crying why don't you just try to make a game like this so we can comment about it...Great Job Bethesda!

You miss the point, they dropped a subtle hint that they played Oblivion, on these boards that means their opinion is worth more. To defeat the argument I would have to like post a picture of my original Arena boxed copy, or I think we wait for someone who played Morrowind to post then comment on that. There is a precedence to follow.

He played it for 100 hours, thought it was the best game ever for the most part.... Then towards the end noticed a couple of flaws and decided Skyrim is a fail.

Make you're own minds up about that.

The fail lies in the potential wasted and not in the good parts delivered. I ask myself why Bethesda was not able to deliver a finished game, and furthermore I ask myself: if they can't deliver a finished TES:5, what will be with TES:6? As long as the crowd is happy or at least stays silent, TES:6 will be worse, because quality just costs money.

So...you don't want the crowd happy...you want them to make you happy. Sorry, but until you buy Bethesda, I doubt they care about everything you want.

As in finished game, you mean you it is not possible to finish the game? Hardly believe that.

You know how business works? You don't like something, you don't buy it. No one made you buy this game. Sorry you gave into the hype and were not an informed consumer. You are not entitled to a great game or a great time had. Buyer beware.

Advice: Go buy "Deadliest Catch" or "Man vs. Wild". You'll come around buddy.

By the way, if the Skyrim boards are this bad, how bad must people be hating on those games?

I don't care about the crowd. The final sentence of my post answers your question: I was not happy so I will not buy the next Bethesda game blindly like I did with Skyrim. That is my feedback to Bethesda, including some highlights on the why. Now they can say "kthxbuy didn't like you anyway." or they can say "Maybe we need to change something about the way we do games."

As someone who works as a professional in the IT business I have some insight on the mistakes Bethesda did with this game that explain why it lead to releasing a game that wasn't even done, yet. I know perfectly well where that path leads to and I'd love to see Bethesda stop going that way before it is too late, but in the end thats neither my choice nor my fate. I can just buy any other game instead.

I'm just helping you realize your expectations will not be met, bud :confused:

I feel your pain as a mage, I suggest playing a mixed class. Someone will fix it with a mod eventually though.

tl:dr

what a moron. You can't beat a boss the first time you ever face him so you delete an entire character? And then blame it on the game? Wow, kiddies who "play" games these days are so stupid and pathetic. Good riddance.

Why does everyone keep saying that Skyrim beats Oblivion by a mile? because of the graphics? pfff, Gothic 3 already looked like this, as early as 2006 (also they seem to have plagiarized pretty much from Gothic, especially crafting)... I played Oblivion for 6 years now (well... since it came out), but Skyrim, i play less and less, i can t point my finger on why, though... it doesnt satisfy me as much as Oblivion did... im waiting for mods to save the day though...

I have been gaming for 20+ years. Since the Atari, intellivison, colecovision, etc. And I am very surprized and happy at the same time how far gaming has come. I think Skyrim is an amazing RPG. And I have played them all. I mean really, look at the number of gameplay hours and quests. And how huge the wide open world is. I cant believe someone would really complain over a few glitches. It happens.
I am a member of a gaming community for Black ops and MW2 and 3 and if you want to talk about disapointment, how about the lag or lack of connection with online play if your not within 100miles of the main headquartes!!!!!! I'll take an amazing game like Skyrim and a few glitches anyday.
How would you younger guys like to have a game like the Atari where there are two small rectangle sticks and a small square ball that bounces back and forth (PONG). Alot of work goes into a game like Skyrim. Give credit where credit is due. Great job Bethesda!!!!!! I love the game.

The one good point I think you made is about the guards running in. It makes no sense. If I sneak into someone's house and kill them, the guards should not instantly know about it (even if there were no witnesses.) Unless the guard or a witness sees me do it, I should be able to get away with it.

Also, I don't like not being able to kill certain characters. If I want to kill one of the most important characters in the game and ruin the main quest for myself, by god I should be able to do it.

It breaks immersion when I am shooting fire balls at the Jarl of Solitude and bashing her over the head repeatedly with my mace... meanwhile she is just croaching on the ground in front of me like all of my efforts are merely a minor annoyance. WTF??
